This style runs short. We recommend ordering a half size larger than your normal shoe size. Free shipping and free return shipping on all MBT Footwear. Each pair of MBT’s include an instructional DVD. What is mBT? Masai Barefoot Technology or MBT is not just a shoe in the ordinary sense – it is…
I bought my first pair of MBT shoes last year. I have a back injury and degenerative spinal disease. From the first time I put my MBTs on, that is all it took. They didn't need to be broken in. It's like walking on air. The pair that I just purchased is my fifth pair. I won't wear anything else from now on. I'd advise all to try them. I normally wear an 8 in an athletic shoe. I ordered a size larger.

I suffered from severe plantar fasciitis that coventional treatments including custom orthotics and physical therapy did not cure. As soon as I started wearing my MBTs 3 years ago, the pain and problems walking disappeared. I have them in several styles now so that I can walk as long as I want without pain. They also reduced my hip and knee pain.

I love these sandals. I purchased them in black as well. This is the shoe I want to wear every day, everywhere. Footwearetc. advised ordering them a half size larger than my regular size. When they arrived, they fit perfectly. Within a short period, my husband and I ordered six pair of MBT shoes from Footwearetc. [...]

I had hammer toe surgery and I frequently take care of my 16-month who weighs a hefty 29 pounds. Lifting him was putting undue pressure on my toe and I was not healing quickly and was in pain. My friend showed me her shoes, I tried them on, went to my computer, ordered, and now I have happy feet.

Plus also great with the free socks for cooler weather. These are great when out doing errands, walking for hours through stores, etc -- really keep your feet from feeling worn out and the rocker sole gives me such an energetic pace, it really surprises me. I love them! My 2nd pair of MBT sandals, and also have the athletic shoes. I don't wear anything else anymore these are so comfortable.

I have had surgury on both feet and it's very had to find a sandal that is comfortable. The MBTs so far are great. I have received many complements on how cute they are and how they make my feet look smaller than they are. In the summer I attend many concerts and I have yet had a chance to wear them to one of these all day events, I am hoping they will give me the comfort I need for being on my feet all day.

Before my back surgery, I used my MBTs to keep my back health as long as I could. But I bit the bullet in January and had spinal fusion. Now, I love them even more. I'm able to do wonders. I wouldn't use anything else for my daily 2-4 mile walk. I couldn't be more pleased with a product. Thank you.

I wear MBTs all the time. This was my 2nd pair, a birthday gift to myself. The first time I put them on, my constant back pain completely disappeared. Also if I wear them at work I'm not NEARLY as tired at the end of the day! One caution, they really do work your calves/ankles so don't go on a long walk or hike without wearing them around a bit first. Unfortunately they aren't pretty, but who cares? Comfort comes first.

I've been using these sandals every day since I got them, and they still look new! They're really comfortable, and make my feet and legs feel great. :) They do run really short- I'd almost recommend a full size larger, depending upon how closely you normally fit in the toe.

These sandals are great. I love them for fit and comfort and quick to grab, no socks needed. I have knee and weight problems. My feet are very wide and I needed the width and these take care of that. The sandal straps across the toe at the right place-at the ball of the toes- and they feel really good. They are stretchy to accommodate width. I love the cushion in the heel. I had to get used to the curved sole because you can feel as if you are tipping forward or backwards sometimes. But that doesn't happen often and that is what works the muscles, so it is good. I also bought one pair of athletic shoes and they are also wide enough after I exchanged for a shoe that is one full size larger than I usually wear. The length is still fine. Even in these sandals, I went up a full size and they are not too long at all. They just feel so good. Really.

These shoes are life changing. Before I found MBTs I couldn't shop, walk, or stand for more than 10 minutes without having severe pain in my back, legs & hips. I now own 7 pairs of MBTs and I do whatever I want to do. I have recommended these shoes to everyone I know who is suffering back pain. I give them the video that comes with the shoes and the website for footwear, etc. I know several others who feel the same way about these shoes as I do.

I received these shoes about a week prior to an event that I was volunteering for that would keep me on my feet for 10 hours a day for six straight days. I kind of broke them in and then wore them every day of the Chopra Center event. They were so comfortable. In past experience, I've had back pain associated with lots of standing, up and down stairs, etc. I was pleasantly surprised. I got alot of inquiries about them. Dr. Chopra mentioned in one of his lectures the importance of keeping 60% of our weight in our heels when standing or walking. I thought "wow, I'm doing exactly that!". I can feel leg muscles working! I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear and they fit great. My only complaint is that they are heavy but I've been accustomed to flip flops and Crocs that weigh nothing! Overall, love them.
